Do chatgpt or other language models help you code more efficiently and faster? Is it worth spending your money for it?

Not really. Writing code is the easy part. It's not the rate limiting step. The hard part is getting requirements out of customers, who rarely know what they want. I don't need to push out more code and features faster, that would make things into unmaintainable spaghetti.

I might send it a feature list and ask it "what features did they forget?" or "Can you suggest more features?", or even better -- "which features are the least important for X and can be eliminated?". In other words, let it do the job of middle-management and I'll just do the coding myself.

Anyway, ChatGPT blocks my country (I've confirmed it's on their end).
